What ****** news Clive. Hopefully it is a baby tumour and they can remove it. Good luck with the biopsy.

Yes i'm optimistic , timewise its been pretty quick, hopefully its benign:) thanks bluetit hope you nail your sugars ok:)

perhaps a bug BT ??

If it were a bug, my post meal rises would be more, not less. I perhaps explained it badly. My post meal rises are lower than I would expect for that meal, for example tonight I had battered fish shop cod and mushy peas with half a slice of bread. I only went up by 0.8. I would have expected to go up by more than that. I usually go up by 1.5 approx. after a chippy fish etc.

It is still very stressful none the less. Being in the waiting room for tests and results is worse than getting a bad diagnosis. Been there and bought the T shirt.

Played it safe with no treats as a result of the 4.7

Hi Bluetit, I think you have to just accept you have a really bad batch of strips and try to let the reading wash over you. Usually your readings are really stable and if you are eating similar things, I don't think you need worry. Also if the reading are stressing you out this wont help your BS' at all. Perhaps take a break from testing for a while unless your eating something new.

5.0 before breakfast
7.7 after breakfast - liver you not getting me down ner ners

Thanks for those reassuring words Kezzer. A new pack of 10 tubs is on its way to me right now, courtesy of Homehealth (see AndBreathes thread) so hopefully things will return to normal. Even though we know we have dodgy strips I can't get rid of the thought it might be me deteriorating, and if it is, I don't know why!

My batch 44 readings so far today.

Fasting - a wide selection between 6.1 and 7.4
Brekkie was 100g FF yogurt, 50g raspberries, flaxseed, cup of tea dash of milk. Same every day.
brekkie + 1 hr 6.8
brekkie + 2hrs 6.5
before lunch 6.2 (accu chek 5.6)
lunch +1hr 6.8

Normal mornings I would expect
fasting 5.5
1hr after brekkie 6.8
2hrs after brekkie 6.5
before lunch 5.6
lunch +1hr 6.4

This batch seems fine if levels are in the 6's. It is not fine if levels are in the 5's.

 

[Kezzer4321]

4.8 before lunch
5.4 after lunch

Hi AndBreathe, I'm trawling through this thread from the beginning and I spotted this link from you. Do vermicelli rice noodles not spike you? I'm sorry, I can't recall if you are LCHF or not.
